Chandauli Farmers Face Double Whammy: Paddy Ruined, Wheat Sowing Halted by Rains

• Chandauli farmers face a severe crisis after continuous rains damaged Kharif paddy and now hinder Rabi wheat sowing.
• Excessive moisture in fields makes tilling and sowing impossible, delaying wheat cultivation beyond the ideal period (Nov 15 - Dec 15).
• Delayed sowing leads to weak crops, reduced yields, and farmers' inability to recover production costs.
• Cooperative societies reportedly lack essential agricultural resources like fertilizers, pesticides, and improved seeds, worsening the situation.
• Farmer Kedar Yadav appeals to the government for immediate supply of resources and improved irrigation to save the Rabi crop.

Why It Matters: Chandauli farmers need urgent government aid to overcome crop losses and resource shortages.
